A Great Success.

The vocal and instrumental concert, varied
by recitations by Prof. Merrill, under the
auspices of the Westminster Silver Cornet
Band, on Tuesday evening, at Odd Fellows
! Hail. was great success in every way The
audience was the largest since the great jam at
Blind Toms concert, and a large number
stood during the entire program. The draw
ing card was Prof. A. II. Merrill, of Wander
bilt University, Nashville, Tennessee, for
merly of Western Maryland College, this city:
Although every citizen of Westminster had
heard Prof Merrill on numerous public and
private occasions, they never tire, and the
large audience was fattering ovation to him.
As an elocutionist he is master. His voice
and gesture are at all times suited to the
piece, and his art is ever concealed. his
manner is graceful and easy, and his imper-
| sonations are perfect. On Tuesday evening
he was at his best, and although he had only
four places on the program he was forced by
the clamorous audience to give several extra
pieces His every appearance was greeted
with applause.
The Band, with their new instruments, ex.
celled themselves. and rendered number of
fine selections. The solo by Prof kepler,
and the quartet by Messrs. Morelock, Kepler,
the instrumental part of the program.
The vocal part of the entertainment was an
agreeable surprise to most of the audience.
While all expected some vocal music, few
knew who were to render it. 'Star of De-
scending Night and "Come Where the Lii
lies Bloom" quartets, were admirably rem
dered by Miss Florence Herring, soprano;
Mrs. c. V. Wantz, alto; Mr.. Harry Gernand,
tenor; and Mr.. Thomas Murray, basso. The
selections were good, and were sung with fine
effect Prof. c. H. Spurrier and wife de-
lighted the audience with two duets, "Mither
and Roben' and "Reuben and Rachel, and
rendered another, in response to continued
applause.
Altogether the entertainment was the best
ever given by the Band, and was quite enjoy
able.
The net proceeds were about S65. The
Band requests us to extend their thanks to
those who assisted them, and to the public for
their attendance. - =
